Courses

We offer the following courses at introductory, advanced undergraduate and graduate
levels. With the exception of ASTR 106, which is offered each semester, all courses
are offered on alternate years. Undergraduates can now attain an Astronomy minor
(see below). Please contact us for further information about undergraduate and graduate
study.

The Astronomy minor is designed to provide a broad overview of the field of Astronomy.
The Astronomy minor consists of 21 credit hours of course work. Required core courses:
PHYS 111; PHYS 112; PHYS 314 (12 hrs). Minors also complete 9 credit hours from
any ASTR courses numbered 300 and above. Physics majors may complete an astronomy
minor, provided the ASTR courses counted toward the minor are not counted as electives
toward the physics major. A minimum grade of C or better is required in each course
counted toward the minor. Minor Code: U087
